Dear Sir:

I wish to pursue a doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering at your institution. My desired date of entrance is fall, 1994. Please send me necessary application forms at your early convenience.

If possible, I also wish to obtain a graduate assistantship so that I may support myself and obtain more practical experience while pursuing graduate study.

I obtained my B. E. (Chemical Engineering) in 1989 and M. S. (Chemical Engineering) in 1992 from Tsinghua University. At present, I work as a teacher at the same university.

I have taken the TOEFL and received a score of 607. I am going to take GRE this coming October.

Would you please send me the application forms for admission and financial support? Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,

Henry Yu
